Through the years, Seattle's Paramount Theatre has been a performance mecca - hosting everyone from The Rockettes to Robin Williams, The Beach Boys to Barack Obama. But deep in the heart of the theater, there's a 90-year-old performer with a great set of pipes. We're talking about the Mighty Wurlitzer organ.
